- The Fostoria Glass Co. was a manufacturer of pressed, blown and hand molded glassware and tableware. It began operations in Fostoria, Ohio, on December 15,1887 on land donated by the townspeople. The company was formed by men from West Virginia who were experienced in the glassmaking business. Lucian Martin and William Brady started their company in NW Ohio to take advantage of newly discovered natural gas that was an ideal fuel for glassmaking. Numerous other businesses were also started in the area and collectively they depleted the natural gas supply. Fuel shortages caused the company to move to Moundsville, West Virginia in1891. At its peak in 1950 the company employed 1,000 people. The plant closed permanently on February 28, 1986.
